Kah-Nee-Ta looks to rebound this year
K ah-N ee-Ta Resort and
Spa is looking to rebound in
2014, after a tough year in
2013.
This year Kah-Nee-Ta will
continue working with Travel
Oregon to increase the num
ber o f visitors from Japan,
said Carlos Smith, resort gen
eral manager. H e made the
re p o rt last w eek at Tribal
Council.
During 2013, Smith said,
K ah -N ee-T a w elcom ed a
large n um ber o f Japanese
guests, bringing in $250,000
in business.
This was the first time in
six years that the Japanese
visitors had been, back to
Kah-Nee-Ta. They like the
resort, Smith said, because
many o f them are from To
kyo or other big cities in Ja
pan. In the cities* the stars
are not visible, while at Kah-
N ee-Ta on clear nights the
stars are very bright. T he
Ja p a n e se g u ests also like
horseback riding, and meet
ing Native Americans.
Smith said the hope is to
double the am ount o f Japa
nese business in 2014, and
then double again in 2015.
Another project in 2014 is the
development o f other foreign
markets such as China, Tur
key and Germany.
The unm anned aerial ve
hicles project on the reserva
tion has a great potential for
Elders invited to Honor Day
T he C oquille In d ian
Tribes and the Confeder
ated T rib es o f C oos,
L ow er U m p q u a and
Siuslaw Indians are host
ing the Eighteenth Annual
O re g o n T rib al E ld ers
H onor Day on March 7-
8. The Warm Springs Se
nior Citizen program is tak
ing a group, leaving on the
March 5 and returning on
the March 8.
For m ore inform ation
call 553-3313.
K a h -N ee-T a, S m ith said.
There will be training sessions,
lasting up to several weeks,
for people who are learning
to use the UAVs. They will
need somewhere to stay, and
K ah-N ee-Ta could provide
the lodging.
This could bring in sub
stantial revenue not only dur
ing the spring and summer
seasons, but in the fall and
winter as well.
So the coming year looks
to be a good one for the re
sort. Last year a kitchen fire
during the sum m er caused
significant damage: $1.5 mil
lion in property damage, and
$700,000 in lost business.
Insurance covered much
o f th e loss, “b u t you are
never made completely whole
after som ething like that,”
Smith said.
Most o f the damage came
from water, as the emergency
sprinkler system was in good
working order, he said. The
w ooden floor o f the lodge
lobby had to be replaced,
work that was just finishing
up recently.
After the kitchen fire, the
Sunnyside fire b ro k e out,
burning up to the edge o f the
lodge. This caused $57,000 in
p ro p e rty
dam age
and
$271,000 in lost business, in
surance covering about 60
percent.
Senior Citizen Prom Night
The Senior Citizen Prom
N ig h t, “ S tro llin g D o w n
Memory Lane,” will happen
on February 14 at the Com
munity Center Social Hall.
D inner will be served at 5
p.m. D inner will include meat
loaf, mashed potatoes, gravy,

Pgge $
Resolution process
at Tribal Council
D e p artm en ts, e n te r
prises and individuals who
have proposed resolutions
for Tribal Council should
be aware o f a new Coun
cil policy.
A proposed resolution
should be submitted to the
office o f the Secretary-
Treasurer as soon as pos
sible before the Council
meeting, such as a week
before the meeting.
The previous practice a
was for people to show up
at C ouncil w ith a p ro - 3
posed resolution, expect-.ja
ing Council to review and ■
approve the proposal at J
that time.
This does not allow for I
reasonable time to review |
the proposal; so Council 8
adopted the new policy j
last month.
N o tic e re g a rd in g p e r c a p ita s !
